Abstract

A touch panel or the like having a novel structure in which an influence of noise of an electrode included in an organic EL element on an electrode for touch sensing can be suppressed is provided. A voltage of the electrode for touch sensing and a voltage for reference are input to input terminals of an operational amplifier, and in an integrator circuit in which a change in capacitance due to touch sensing is sensed, the input terminal to which the voltage for reference is supplied is connected to a common electrode included in the organic EL element. Such a structure does not amplify but can cancel noise of the electrode for touch sensing, on which noise of the common electrode is superimposed.
